Not sure if this is old news but I just noticed location-based photos (and a few videos) set inside google maps. Right now it looks like photos are only being taken from Panoramio.com and videos from Youtube.com.

A quick google of Panoramio.com brings this up:
“Panoramio is a geographical photo collab site that uses Google Earth to link photos to the exact location from which they were taken.”
A quick peruse of the photos currently looks promising. I haven’t heard of panoramio.com until now but it looks like a great addition to the google mash-up family.
